Which one do you like? I have the TST 507RV TPMS with 8 flow through sensors that monitor pressure and temps. Now into the third season with it and am happy with it so far, I bought a second set for good friends and camping buddies of ours for their Class A.

 

Fly rod and fishing gear. Oh yah beer. I got to get my priorities straight.

 

I harken back to the days when these things first came out and man, were they a pain in the tail. I am guessing the bugs are worked out by now because that was years ago.

So as I look at my catalog and look over the prices for the TST, (and this is not a loaded question), if you are running sensors have they actually alerted you in time to avoid something happening to a tire? Knock on wood, we really have not had much trouble with tires and when we have, it was in situations where I knew better. On the other hand, I am just finished work on a Grand Junction that had an explosive blow-out and it made quite a mess. So you have me thinking.

So far we have not suffered a low pressure or high temperature event while traveling with the TPMS. I have however tested it by manually dropping pressure on a trailer tire and the dash display alarmed pretty quickly.

 

I certainly agree that they should be an integral part, but it seems that it's just been that last handful of years that a spare tire has been included, let alone the tools to change it with. In fact, the last two TT's I bought have spare tires, but no lug wrench and certainly no way to get a flat up off the ground.
In other words, the manufacturers and dealers are still treating them as optional equipment.

 

That's why I have AAA. I can change one if I have to but if not in bfe, I'll wait for them to do it.

 

If you go on the road without the proper tools, it's on YOU. I agree, the manufacturer SHOULD supply the equipment.... but it ups the bottom line. If they would just TELL you what you have missing!

 

Hole is to allow remote monitor connection
































This system has warned me of a faulty ground on the shore power......

 

I also have the TST system on all 6 tires of the truck and the 4 tires of the Montana 5th wheel.

Great peace of mind.

2013 I was towing a 42 ft 18000 lb Raptor 5th wheel. 3 axles. Towing at 65 mph on a 2 lane road in Montana, 2 tires on the starboard side blew. I did not know it. The wife didn't notice it either. A person following us saw it and warned us. With 8 1/2 ft wide trailer, you can not see the tires in the mirrors.
That could have been a disaster. After that I purchased the TST system with 6 sensors for the 5th wheel. Later I added 6 sensors for the truck.
Now that I just purchased the Montana 5th wheel with only 2 axles, I will put the 2 extra sensors on the spare tires.......

 

I also carry 2 bottle jacks......6 ton and 12 ton. Lug wrench X 2.

 

#1 My 300 watts of solar panels so I don't have to hear my generator. (mounted on roof)

#2 All my fishing gear.

#3 My chair for fishing.

#4 Beer.

#5 The wife.

 

Next time I have to remember to "bolden" the word "single".

Some of us have to complicate the assignment.......

 

My boat.

Enough said.

 

Do you have a good configuration for batteries/solar combination that is enough to run a 13,000 BTU air on overnight...not that I would, but it would be a good gauge for capacity? I've been thinking this would be a good perminant addition to the garage. Batteries would be good for counterbalance for pin, solar just makes sense. Anyone done it?
